IN LIGHT OF SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE VARIOUS
BULLETIN
BOARDS; THE COMMENTS BELOW STILL HOLD TRUE:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++
Lately there have been some comments on the various bulletin boards about
having general contacts or leaving the packet or crossband repeater on.
Remember that ARISS is a guest onboard the ISS and if the crew elects to not
turn something on or to operate, then that is their decision.

There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having
direct contacts on the 40 meter band. There is no HF radio equipment on
board
and available yet. The HF antenna is mounted. Sometimes WA3NAN will
retransmit shuttle audio.
